Is it a problem to you? Does this affect you in any tangible way? Or are you just annoyed that these people exist?
We just graduated from an era where the official position of the United States government was that men can get pregnant. This insanity still permeates a lot of institutions.
I think the average person should care that their employer, government, healthcare systems, universities, etc. is or recently was telling them up is down, yeah.
In time it'll wane more (hopefully) and "it's just not a big deal anymore" may become accurate, but for the time being I think it's normal to be concerned with bad ideas that take society, workplaces, schools, etc. hostage.

First and most likely last time I agree with that little shite. The pronoun fascists need to take a step back.

they were not present in the conversation. i know that doesn't really change your stance, but lets at least get facts straight.

so you are just making random assumptions out of nothing?

No one would call me a dickhead or hard to work with in my office, and I'd tell you to your face that I'm not playing the fake pronoun game.

he employee was still under probation period, they can argue they let him go because he was a dickhead and hard to work with, which was likely the case if he can't be bothered to be respectful of another coworker enough to address them as preferred.
Sounds like he dodged a bullet. Why the hell would anyone want to work with a bunch of blue and green hairs that have to be treated in special ways and called special names.

There's already a precedent set for this so it depends on how they fire him and how long he was here for exactly because if he was here for 6 months in one day in the probationary. Thing doesn't matter anyway but if they terminated him for why he says they terminated him then they are screwed anyway being allowed to fire someone without calls and then using the wrong calls to fire someone or two separate things

He might well be right that the pastor was hostile about it
But making an assumption of ill intent about him and not about the unwell person using pronouns is probably revealing

One of the true tells of a "tolerant" progressive like this poster is always the assumptions.
First they downplay what is happening. "Oh you don't like these people, they aren't bothering you, you must be a (insert an ism/ist here)". Of course, this person completely glosses over the fact that people lose jobs and their livelihoods if they don't follow along with the fantasy world they have created.
Next step is to pivot to this narrative above when proven how absurd the stance is.
"Oh, even if so and so didn't directly say/do something egregious, we just KNOW he was thinking it". So now, in the eyes of this fascist, the person he hates is committing thought crimes and therefore deserves punishment.
The reality is you just hate the guy because he stood up to you fantasy, and on top of that, he is a white, male, christian. He is the epitome of your biggest enemy. Period.

I don't think it makes someone a dickhead for not wanting to live in fantasy land. Guess we'll just disagree on that.

I don’t know. I’m pretty in favor of governors trying protect the constitutional rights of their citizens

It take s a bigger dickhead to have preferred pronouns in the first place. frick your mental illness, I'm not participating in it.

They can exist all they want. You aren't controlling my language.

Again, a lot of assumptions here.
Doing *what* enough to get fired?
